I don't know where to start describing these muffins. I know, the combination might sound weird, but let me tell you with whole my heart that it makes one the most delicious muffins I have eaten. Freshly grated pumpkin makes these muffins moist and gives it a nice texture. Turmeric and cinnamon makes them incredibly fragrant and delicious. Pumpkin and turmeric combined with cinnamon brings such a harmonious, earthy taste that keeps you craving for more.
Some things to note before you start:
Although Pumpkin goes well with this recipe, you can also replace it with squash or sweet potatoes, whichever is on hand. It is always fun to experiment!
If you are vegan, you can replace the eggs with 1 teaspoon of baking soda, a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar) and 60ml milk of your choice. And replace 1½ teaspoons baking powder with ½ teaspoon baking powder.
If you do not have almond flour or prefer a nut free option, you can replace it with 125g or1 cup of flour of choice in total.
If you don't have pumpkin seeds, chopped pecans or walnuts would go well too.
The amount of sugar is personal in my opinion, so please increase or decrease the sweetness according to your taste with sweetener of choice.
